It Doesn't Matter Where You're Located
We coach in person, by phone, and through email. We offer face-to-face meetings if you're located in the Baltimore, Maryland-Washington, DC areas.
If you're located outside those areas, we conduct our meetings by phone and email.
It isn't necessary to meet in person. In fact, some of our local clients meet with us once in person, and the rest of our communication is by phone and email.

Our Approach Is Unique
The most important reason why we are hands down unlike any other speaking coaches is that...
We will help you get rid of your public speaking fear, speaking anxieties, stage fright, or other performance blocks very rapidly!
When we say rapidly, we mean in a few minutes to a few sessions. In about 9 hours or less, you can go from near phobic to confident.
We have about 50 years of speaking and coaching experience between us. We constantly research the field of public speaking for relevant and useful strategies and techniques that can benefit you.
More importantly, we are information integrators. We research literature in fields outside of public speaking for strategies that we can integrate into our coaching and speaking work that can benefit you. That's why your experience with us is refreshingly different. We offer a fresh approach.
Coaching is an art. We don't champion the strategies that 99% of other coaches use if those strategies don't work! Many coaches do that. It's safe and secure for them, but that practice wastes your time and money. The results are usually minimal for your investment of time.

Together We Get to the Root Cause of Your Fear
We know your anxiety hurts. It drains you emotionally, and it may get worse. Maybe you cope by clenching your teeth while standing before your audience, secretly wishing you were somewhere else, anywhere else.
Perhaps you avoid speaking at all costs. If so, you've become creative at this. You find ways to get others to speak in your place. You suddenly become "sick," or you just don't show up. Then you feel guilty.
What is this doing to your career or your business? How does this affect your confidence and your emotional well being?
After years of study and research on this phenomenon, we believe your speaking fears, anxieties, and other performance blocks result from one or more of the following issues. Usually, it's a combination of issues.
1. Specific fears from a lack of presentation skills
These are the easiest fears to alleviate. When we help you identify and master the skills in which you are lacking, your fear disappears. Some of these fears are...
- Lack of practice
- Fear of a hostile crowd*
- Fear of not looking right*
- Lack of subject knowledge
- Fear of speaking too long*
- Fear of not sounding right*
- Fear of not saying enough*
- Fear of being misunderstood*
- Fear of forgetting your presentation
The fears annotated with an asterisk (*) also may be unrelated to a lack of presentation skills. They may have causes that fall into the next category.
2. Fears from issues unrelated to public speaking
This is the killer! It's also the reason why most traditional approaches to public speaking fear don't work.
The following root causes manifest themselves as public speaking fear. They are not public speaking fear per se and shouldn't be treated in the same way as a lack of presentation skills. These are just some of the causes that we've identified. You may have one or more of them.
- Shyness
- Fear of ridicule
- Fear of rejection
- Lack of confidence
- Fear of a hostile crowd
- Fear of not being heard
- Fear of not looking right
- Fear of offending people
- Physical abuse as a child
- Fear of speaking too long
- Fear of not sounding right
- Fear of not saying enough
- Emotional abuse as a child
- Fear of being misunderstood
- Fear of being judged by peers
- Fear of panicking or "losing it"
- Fear of getting a mental blank
- Fear audience will laugh at you
- Fear of audience not accepting you
- Traumatic speaking experience in your past
- Put-down by an authority figure such as a teacher

What Is Your Investment for Performance Coaching?
For Eliminating Speaking Fear and Performance Blocks...
Your investment will depend on what you want to accomplish. Usually, for assistance in reducing or removing speaking fear, speaking anxieties, or other performance blocks, your investment is the same if it takes 9 minutes or 9 hours.
Typically you should achieve success in 9 hours or less. If you achieve your objectives in less than 9 hours, you may use the balance of time for presentation skills coaching.
Complete the Coaching Inquiry Questionnaire so we can discuss your needs, investment, and how we may serve you.
For Presentation Skills...
With presentation skills coaching, your investment may be based on what and how much you want to accomplish and the amount of time or number of coaching sessions that you need.
